It’s been lasting a full workday on me without getting patchy or fading unevenly. It layers beautifully this way and doesn’t pick up on itself or get cakey. I like to apply a thin layer all over, and then I’ll pat on a little more on areas where I need more coverage. I’d say they’re correct on describing the coverage, too - it sits somewhere between medium and full. The finish is just stunning - it seems to gloss over every imperfection and really blurs out my pores. I typically don’t set it with powder until this hour is up, otherwise it makes it look too dry. When first applied, it has more of a satin finish on me that grows more radiant within about an hour - once that hour is over, that’s pretty much the level of radiance it will have all day. This makes the foundation glide on more easily and ensures it doesn’t look dry on my skin. I have to make sure my skin has been well-moisturized (but maybe this is because it’s winter) before applying, specifically with an oil or an oil-based moisturizer. At this time I don’t have any makeup sponges, so I haven’t tried applying it with one, but I will report back once I do! I apply it with a dense buffing brush ( this one), and it blends it out super easily and quickly. It interestingly feels like a burst of hydration when I initially start working it into my skin, which I’ve never experienced with a foundation before. Its consistency sits between thick and thin - it holds its shape when pumped out and doesn’t run down my hand, but it spreads easily over the skin and doesn’t drag. It comes in 30 shades in a variety of undertones, and there seems to be a good distribution of shades among those 30.
